Some one of the family was with him ail the time from the mo- | ment he arrivzd until he was found dfad | Tuesday morning. The, detectives from Sacramento are still at work on the case and are unable | to find any record of carbolic acid having & wid to Hatton. Hatton was seen in Sacramento several tinies Sunday, but | no trace @f him that night or the next day can be found.

That the carbolic aeld did not work | quicker 1= due no doubt to the fact that Hattor's stomach contained a quantity of | alcobolic liquor which he fmbibed freely Sunday night and which is an antidote for carbolic acid.

OREGON CITY, Jan. 30.—Deralling and perhaps seriously wrecking the northbound Eugene local hetween Bar- low and Canby yesterday morning was only averted by the time- ly warning that was given by a tramp. Discovering a broken rail, presumably resulting from the passing of a heavy freight train, the tramp ran down the track and stopped the approaching local - passenger train within a few feet of the damaged rall. The broken steel was the outer’rail of the track, and the place of the danger was In a elirve of the track about midway between Barlow and Canby. On account of the curve it would have been impossible for the engineer to have stopped his train in time to avoid running over the dangerous rail, which Wwould surely have caused a derail- ment.
